WASHINGTON, July 22-The political i
who sre coming here from ST. Louis to
urge the President to take q Western trip
will hud that their visit is unnecessary.
There Is no doubt that the President has
already determined to take an
extended tour through the Western
States in the early autumn. The
date has not yet been fixed. IL he goes
early, he will probably visit first Chicago,
then Milwaukee, st. Paul and Minneapol-
is, returning to Washington by way of
Omaha, Atchison, Kansas City and ST.
Louis. If the trip is taken later, the route
will be reversed, so as to visit st. Louis
first, and then Kansas City, Atchison,
Onsha, Minneapolis, St. Paul and Mil
waukee, returning home direct from
Chicago.
The President hopes to be able to make
this trip IN day light, so as to see the
country and observe the great progress of
the West. It Is bis intention to meet the
people of the Western states as President
OF the whole country, and not as the re-
preventative of one party. This is the
way in which he talks with those to whom
he has expressed his views upon the sub
iect.

Washington Correspondence New York World.
1.-THE election of Millionaire Stockbridge
to the Senate" said Michigan Republi.
can who was here recently, sis one of the
most unfortunate things that ever hap
pened to the Republican party in sthe
State. There is more feeling over it than
people imagine who live outside the State.
There was little attempt to disguise the
methods that secured Stockbrldge's cleo
ton, which was brought about by the
lavish use of money. Stookbridge has
been a chronic candidate for Governor and
Senator for many years. He has spent a
great deal of money to accomplish this re-
suit, but up to last winter he was unsuc-
cessful. think his election did not cost
him cent less than $500, 600. While the
feeling among the people in the State is
very strong, / don't believe any effort will
be made to contest the election on the
ground of fraud. They seem to realize
that it would be useless to take the matter
before the United States Senate, where
probably majority of the members Sc
cured their election by the same corrupt
methods. The Republican party will find
out its mistake at the next election in
Michigan"

A GRAND ARMY RUcTIoN.
Several Members of Gen. Fairchild's Post
withdraw.

several members OF Gen. Eatrchti0'5 Post
withdraw.
MADISON, Wis, July 22.-Rather a SEN
setiOnal rumpus has broken out in the G..
A. r. post, Of which Gen. Fairchild is a
member. AT a regular meeting a few
evenings since Geo. Raymer, editor of the
Madison Democrat and a veteran, sent in
a letter asking for an honorable discharge
from the post. a spirited debate ensued,
and many were vigorously opposed to
granting an honorable discharge on ac-
count of the articles which had appeared
in the Democrat relating to the
political attitude OF the G.. A. R. In
the heat of the debate when matters had
become decidedly hot the officer of the
day, a Democrat, unbuckled his sword, re-
moved his badge and declared that he had
become disgusted with the actions of the
post and wished no further connection
with it. Efforts were made to quell the
dissatisfaction of members, but without
avail, and the meeting broke up in gen.
eral political row. The affair has caused
great excitiment in Grand Army circles,
and the action OF the next meeting is
awaited with interest. 1t is rumored that
there will be a general withdrawal of
members from the post a. no distant date.

THE PIT CROWDED.

Board OF Trade just Now.


Board OF Trade just Now.
CHICAGO, July 23.-[Specisll Corn is the
speculative deal on Change Just now. The
PIT is crowded to overlooking each day aud
trade is accompanied by considerable ex-
cltement. 1t Is largely weather market,
although the effect of the heavy export
movement is bound to be felt before long
Stocks, too, are down to only trlh!e over
1000 600 bushels, and traders know that
nything like a stampede of shorts would
cause the market to temporarily "corner"
itself. Moderate rains have fallen
in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa aud
Southern Minnesota, but large DOR
tons of Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin
and Northern Missouri are still in desper.
ate need of a soaking Many conservative
men also believe that the recent terrific
heat has left its whitening mark on the
crops, and that over very important areas
of the great corn producing territory the
growing grain has been damaged beyond
the power of rain 10 repair. The big local
pluDgeIs are not doing much, but country
orders are coming in with a rush, and
thtse are on the buying or selling side &C.
cordirg as rains have or have not fallen
in the section of the sender.
In the meantime light receipts
are anticipated but as the cash demand is
also slack no hRrdships have resulted.
Wheat sympathizes q good deal with
corn. Receipts at winter wheat markets
are large but not so large as expected snd
| grain receivers and shippers find that
| farmers are not such anxious sellers at
current cheap prices as they had figured
| on. On the other band it is pretty Ger
tain that the bulk of the spring whe at crop
has not seriously suffered from drouth or
insects. Northwestern borders are gener-
| ally on the bear side and while there
bas probably been some damage up there,
it is not sufficient TO justify campaign
| on the short crop theory, especially when
| the increased acreage is cQpsidered. Gables
| quote English markets dull aud lower,
with prospects of an early and large home
| crop, and the export movement has fallen
off wonderfully. Still the visible supply
this week ought to show good decrease,
considering that 100000 bushels were
| burned up ct Minneapolis. This destruc.
ton of the grain, the bulls argue, beats
| any export movement, as 1T takes the
wheat out of the way aud
leaves the corsumptive demand
] still untitled. The local cash business is
/; very light. The new winter wheat, it is
claimed by inspectors, Is mos Of it trife
shrunken, not enough to miss grade, bat
sufficiently to show that the crop is not
averaging as we'll as last year in fullness
| and rouDdness Of the berry. The big bears
claim that they are "selling for invest
ment," and that cash wheat IN December
can be bought at about the same price as
now. Carriers are making their changes
from August to September ut a difference
| of a scant cents.
Provisions are weak, owing to big recei pt:
| of hogs and lower prices for the same. The

A SHOWER OF BULLETS.
Attempted Robbery of vandaIia Train
Near Greenup.


ST. LOUIS, No., July 22.-Train men
of the Vandalia, due here at
Z so last night, but which aid not arrive
until between twelve and one o'clock this
morning, report that at Long Point, this
side of indianapolis, the conductor dis
covered four rough looking men on the
rear platform of the baggage car. He
ordered them off the car, bat IS the train
started up they got on the rear of the tend
er, where they were again
found when the train reached
Greenup Crossing. This time they were
forcibly elected from the train, and they
moved away, but 1t appears they did not
go far, for as the train was passing a clum D
of bushes near the crossing they opened
fire from their revolyers and sent some
twenty bullets whizzing through the bag
gage and express cars and passenger
coaches. Luckily, nobody was hit, but
there were two or three narrow escapes.
The train was brought to halt and backed
up to the crossing and a short search made,
but the miscTeants were not found. A
posse of citizens was organized at once,
however, and systematic search was be-
gun. From circumstances in the case it
is thought the object of the men was to rob
the train, and thorough search for them
will be made.

The Cash Account nalanees.

WASHINGTON, July % in the examina-
ton OF the books and accounts of Mr.
Jordan, late Treasurer of the Uuited
States, which has been concluded, the
only discrepancy was q shortage OF 50 80
in a weigh of gold coins of that denomina.
ton which had been counted by
weight, many years ago, and
passed along from Treasurer to
only discovered by actual count. The
tracer showed the name of the clerk who
made the mistake, and as he is still in the
service the matter was called to his atten-
ton and he at once made the shortage
good, so that "Uncle Sans" cash account
now balances.

Another Complication of the Lou Mabbitt
Case.
LoGANsPoRT, July 20.-[Spscial. THE
offers OF Lafayette to-day visited the vault
in SpriDgvale cemetery, where the body of
Luella Mabbitt was deposited for safe
keeping, and the startling discovery was
made that the head was missing from the
body. This remarkable discovery created
genuine sensation. Detectives have I'M
earthed the following facts: Two months
ago VIM. Mabbitt, father of the dead girl,
gave a Lafayette dentist permission to OBJ
tain the head for the purpose Of making q
cast for future use. He now processes
ignorance of its whereabouts. At meet.
ing of the Dental Association of Indiana
at Lake Maxinkuckee, some weeks ago,
the Lafayette dentist displayed to the
Association the jaw bone of what he
claimed belonged to the body found at
Lafayette, and recognized as that of Miss
Mabbitt. The Association decided that
the teeth belonged TO person fully fifty
years of age, and what was more startling
that the person was of the male sex. Thus
another complication was added to this
already darkly mysterious case.
LAFAYETTE, Ind, July 20.-[Special1-
A discovery has Just been made here that
adds intense interest to the case of Amer
Green, alleged murderer of Luella Mabbitt,
WIZ was ICCCubAJ OopluACO IL 1C4o5 anu lS
now in LogansBort Jail. The supposed re-
mains of Miss Msbbitt were found in the
river here last February, and were posi-
lively identified by Miss Mabbitts mother
and sister. The remains were placed in q
vault in Springvale Cemetery, where they
have since lain. At the time OF the discov-
airy several dentists here said that the re-
mains were those of a person torty-five
years old. DR.. ]. K. Pattison received per-
mission from Mr.. Mabbitt to use the head
of the body for making plaster cast. At
q meeting OF the State Dental Association
st Lake Maxinkuckee, recently, the head
was exhibited and pronounced that of
male forty-6Ve or fifty years old. Inyesti-
CATION Of the remains discloses the fact that
the head is missing. DR.. Pattison, in an
interview, stated that the head was intsct
and would be produced at the proper time.
The revelation has produced a furore and
may have a great influence in the trial Of
Amer Green, the supposed murderer.
